How Standard Variable Rate Affects Members

Our intermediaries understand more than most the impact of the Bank of England’s Base Rate rising over the past couple of years, to amounts not seen since 2008. This in turn has influenced lenders SVR rates, usually increasing in line with the Base Rate, and also other factors such as lender’s cost of borrowing. It is more important than ever to give members and clients the best interest rates as possible at each step of their mortgage journey. This page provides brokers with information about our SVR, including any updates that are taking place.
